Tsade
Ancient Name: Tsad, Tsade
Pictograph: Trail
Meanings: Journey, Chase, Hunt
Sound: Ts
History & Reconstruction
The word tsad means "side," but is also related to the idea of a stronghold, which is often built on the side of a mountain. The pictograph is a picture of a trail as leading up to a destination or stronghold. Most ancient Semitic alphabets used pictographs which closely resemble, indicating that this was most likely the original form of the letter.
The modern name for this letter is tsade, also meaning side, and is a child root from the word tsad. The phonetic sound of this letter is a "ts" in both ancient and modern Hebrew.
The early pictograph evolved into in the Middle Semitic script and continued to evolve into in the Late Semitic Script. From the middle Semitic script came the Modern Hebrew צ and ץ. Modern Greek and Latin have no letter derived from this Semitic letter.

Modern Hebrew
Tsade is the 18th letter of the Aleph-Bet and its numerical value is 90. The pictograph looks something like a man on his side (representing needs), whereas the classical Hebrew script ( Ktav Ashurit) is constructed of a bent Nun with an ascending Yod. Tsade got its name from the shape of a fishing hook or perhaps a bird trap, which is to the tzad meaning to hunt, catch, and capture. Formed from the bent Nun and Vav. The Nun represents a humble and faithful servant and the crowned Vav that is bent in submission. The Yod looking like hands raised to the spirit of The Most High. Therefore Tsade is the Tzaddaki The righteous man trusting in the Most High to do His will.
"YHVH's Word and the Psalmist 137-144 (Tzaddi)]"
TZADDI
Psalms 119:137 "Righteous art Thou, O Lord, And upright are Thy judgments."
This section of eight verses is titled "The Most High's word and the Psalmist". God is always fair in all His judgments. When it appears that He isn't, the problem is in your mind, not with God's judgments. You don't know what has happened to cause God to deal with this person harshly, to bring him to this time of testing. God will not rule over you, if you want to do stupid things, God will allow you to. Never doubt that God has a purpose in all that takes place.
Psalms 119:138 "Thy testimonies that Thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful."
Our Heavenly Father is always faithful to His Word. Even during times of testing, God still loves you and wants to put your feet back on the path of His Word.
Psalms 119:139 "My zeal hath consumed me Because mine enemies have forgotten Thy words."
This is saying, "I am speechless with resentment" Because mine enemies have forgotten Thy words." Today we call it righteous indignation.
Psalms 119:140 "Thy word is very pure: Therefore Thy servant loveth it."
The Word of God is the only pure and perfect thing in this world. What people call errors in the bible is nothing more than an organization, or translator trying to fit the Word to what they want it to say. The manuscripts are pure, the translations are not.
Psalms 119:141 "I am small and despised: Yet do not I forget Thy precepts."
When you are tired and down, that is the time to cry out for His hand, for it is there.
Psalms 119:142 "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Thy law is the truth."
Forever God's righteousness is present and near to you. God's law is the truth, it is the only thing that you can count on for direction in your life. It is given as a guidepost for your life. Don't listen to those that say the "law" is done away with. Jesus came to fulfill the law, and not one dot of the law has changed. Jesus death on the cross fulfilled the blood sacrifice ordinances for one and all times. The veil to the holy of holies was rent in two, and we can go directly to the Father in repentance, for that is why we pray our prayers in Jesus Name. We have faith to believe that His blood was sufficient to cover all our sins.
Psalms 119:143 "Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: Yet Thy commandments are my delights."
If you don't watch out, all the thoughts and troubles of this world can take hold of your mind. But if you keep focused on God's commandments, His promises, they become a delight to your soul. They give you peace of mind in troubled times.
Psalms 119:144 "The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting: Give me understanding, and I shall live."
Again it is repeated, "The righteousness of Thy testimonies is everlasting:" His Word is true and endless. You can count on it. God's Word will give you direction for your life today, and peace of mind for the future and eternity. By living your life according to the Word, you should not only improve your life but those you live and work with. Is your neighborhood, and the world a better place because you were there? What kind of testimonies from the Word are you reflecting to others by the way you talk and the things you do? The mission we have here on earth is to help hold each other up, and not just holding ourselves up. Make your life meaningful and an inspiration to others, even for just one other person.
Black History Moment: Dr. Huey P. Newton
Dr. Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy. In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. Newton was born in Monroe, Louisiana. He was the youngest of seven children of Armelia Johnson and Walter Newton, a sharecropper, and Baptist lay preacher. His parents named him after former Governor of Louisiana Huey Long. In 1945, the family migrated to Oakland, California, as part of the second wave of the Great Migration of African-Americans out of the South to the Midwest and West. During those long years in Oakland public schools, he states, "I did not have one teacher who taught me anything relevant to my own life or experience. Not one instructor ever awoke in me a desire to learn more or to question or to explore the worlds of literature, science, and history. All they did was try to rob me of the sense of my own uniqueness and worth, and in the process nearly killed my urge to inquire."
Newton graduated from Oakland Technical High School in 1959 without being able to read, although he later taught himself; The Republic by Plato was the first book he read. Newton also attended Merritt College, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree in 1966. He then attended San Francisco Law School, and the University of California at Santa Cruz, where he earned a bachelor's degree and, in 1980, a Ph.D. After Newton taught himself to read, he started questioning everything. In his autobiography, Revolutionary Suicide, he states: "Most of all, I questioned what was happening in my own family and in the community around me." This was the start of his involvement in the civil rights movement. Newton once wrote that he began his law studies to become a better criminal, although he said that he had been a "big-time fool" for having such narrow ambitions.
